From Lockdown to Long-Distance
I started cycling during the 2020 lockdowns—just a heavier guy trying to stay active when everything else shut down. What began as short local rides on an old mountain bike turned into a passion, especially after upgrading to a gravel bike.


Since then, it’s been a journey of challenges and discovery:

2021: 5 Ferries challenge for charity
2022: London to Paris
2023: Northern Netherlands loop
2024: Southern Netherlands loop
2025: Normandy’s historic D-Day beaches


While I still ride locally around Perthshire, I also take on one big trip abroad each year—exploring new places, pushing limits, and soaking in the scenery.

While all my routes are listed on here, you'll find videos of some of the rides and trips on YouTube.

No2 playing in Cupar today, thought i might as well ride down and get more Ks in the legs.

BIshopton - Balloch - Glasgow
